The first to cross the line in the men’s was Joshua Low with an incredibly speedy 35 minutes 26 seconds. His closest rival Jim Davies clocked a 36:28.

Sarah Trim claimed the women’s crown, nearly 3 mins ahead of the nearest competitor, with a top time of 41 minutes 17 seconds. Jen Lovesy followed in second with a time of 44:13.

Our very own Luke de Costa from news took part in the race too and said it was a beautiful sunny day to go running;

"The weather was perfect, bright and sunny, and there were loads of people lining the race cheering us on. I gotta say it was tough though. I'm not much of a runner but thought the Weymouth event was the perfect challenge to start the year. I didn't quite hit the time I wanted but thoroughly enjoyed the whole race. Well organised and for a great cause. plus a t-shirt and a medal at the end for all races!!!"
